Partial Power

If you have “Partial Power” this may be an indication of an overload or defective appliance. Check your breakers or fuses as they are safety devices to cut off power to an electrical circuit if it becomes dangerously overloaded or if a short circuit occurs. Keep in mind you may also have to check the breakers at the metering point, it may be a in a different location. If you find the cause, reset the breaker or replace the fuse. It may be necessary to call an electrician. If the problem is found not to be in your electrical apparatus, contact the cooperative to have a crew dispatched to check the power line before the meter.

Please keep in mind to thoroughly check your side, if a crew has been dispatched and the problem is on the member’s side of the meter a service charge may apply.
